Recognizing our shared humanity during this difficult time is foundational to our ability to foster constructive dialogue and cooperation as we chart a way forward. It is in this spirit that we present the following animation we created years ago, “One Body,” as a reminder of the things we share, the things that unite us as a human family.
Understanding the Science Behind Viruses Can Help You Get Through the Pandemic
By
Michael Astrachan
The beautiful thing about science is that once we understand how things work, we can then make intelligent decisions. There’s a lot of highly politicized and sometimes conflicting messaging floating around about the current COVID-19 pandemic raging across the globe. So we thought it would be timely to share with you some highly informative animations we have produced about the mechanisms of virus transmission and the capability of the human body’s immune system to fight back and protect us.
